A Scavenger Hunt for Gold and Glory
Posted by Ms. DeAngelisAs the fifth grade Spanish class learns about the conquistadors and the Age of Exploration, we thought it would be fun to do some exploration of our own! Hidden around the classroom were short biographies of famous explorers and conquistadors from 1400-1600. The fifth graders, newly charged with exploring and discovering the Clase de Español, hunted for the eight explorers and recorded key information about their lives and journeys to the New World. Though we didn’t find any gold (this time), we did learn a lot about what motivated the European explorers to cross the ocean and head into the unknown.
